1 Hvem har trodd vårt budskap? Og for hvem er Herrens arm blitt åpenbart?

Who has believed our message? and to whom has the arm of Yahweh been revealed?

2 For han skjøt opp som en ung plante foran ham, som en rot av tørr jord. Han hadde verken form eller prakt; når vi så på ham, var det intet ved ham som tiltrakk oss.

For he grew up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he has no form nor comeliness; and when we see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.

3 Han ble foraktet og avvist av mennesker, en mann av lidelse, kjent med sykdom. Som en det skjules ansikter for, var han foraktet. Vi aktet ham ikke.

He was despised, and rejected by men; a man of suffering, and acquainted with disease: and as one from whom men hide their face he was despised; and we didn't respect him.

4 Sannelig, han tok på seg våre sykdommer og bar våre lidelser; men vi regnet ham som plaget, rammet av Gud og kvalt.

Surely he has borne our sickness, and carried our suffering; yet we considered him plagued, struck by God, and afflicted.

5 Men han ble såret for våre overtredelser, knust for våre misgjerninger. Straffen lå på ham for at vi skulle ha fred, ved hans sår er vi blitt helbredet.

But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought our peace was on him; and by his wounds we are healed.

6 Vi har alle faret vill som sauer, hver tok sin egen vei. Men Herren lot all vår skyld ramme ham.

All we like sheep have gone astray; everyone has turned to his own way; and Yahweh has laid on him the iniquity of us all.

7 Han ble mishandlet, men han åpnet ikke munnen, som et lam som føres til slakting og som en sau som er stum foran den som klipper den, slik åpnet han ikke munnen.

He was oppressed, yet when he was afflicted he didn't open his mouth; as a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before its shearers is mute, so he didn't open his mouth.

8 Ved undertrykkelse og dom ble han tatt bort. Hvem i hans slekt tenkte på at han ble revet bort fra de levendes land for mitt folks overtredelse?

By oppression and judgment he was taken away; and as for his generation, who [among them] considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living for the disobedience of my people to whom the stroke [was due]?

9 De ga ham en grav blant de urettferdige og hos en rik mann i hans død, selv om han ikke hadde gjort noe vold, og det ikke var svik i hans munn.

They made his grave with the wicked, and with a rich man in his death; although he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.

10 Men det behaget Herren å knuse ham; han gjorde ham syk. Når du gir hans liv som et skyldoffer, skal han se sine etterkommere, leve lenge, og Herrens vilje skal lykkes ved hans hånd.

Yet it pleased Yahweh to bruise him; he has put him to grief: when you shall make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see [his] seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of Yahweh shall prosper in his hand.

11 Etter sin sjels lidelse skal han se og bli tilfreds. Gjennom sin innsikt skal min rettferdige tjener rettferdiggjøre mange, og han skal bære deres synder.

He shall see of the travail of his soul, [and] shall be satisfied: by the knowledge of himself shall my righteous servant justify many; and he shall bear their iniquities.

12 Derfor vil jeg gi ham en del blant de store, og han skal dele byttet med de sterke, fordi han utøste sin sjel til døden og ble regnet blant overtrederne. Likevel bar han manges synd og gjorde forbønn for overtrederne.

Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he poured out his soul to death, and was numbered with the transgressors: yet he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
